I heard a saying a while back and it really made me think and relates to most things you see happening in society today. “If you give a man a good paying job, he starts a family. If you give a woman a good paying job, you price her out of a family”...

[quote]If they are introduced then they must be managed,[/quote] You could say the livestock was introduced and the local predators were managing them accordingly. Why do livestock that are raised literally everywhere take precedence over animals that are geographically specific to that area? I g...

[quote]And where did that get the natives?[/quote] The same place as the bears and wolves, eradicated from their native home. The settlers replaced entire populations of people and animals for their benefit. But let’s not compare 1850 to 2024. I think they can handle herd losses today much better...

re: Good pair of waterproof hiking shoes?

Posted by jmh5724 on 4/3/24 at 8:40 am

I bought some Adidas Terrex trail shoes on sale a few years ago and love them. I’ve hiked up to 22 miles in a day with them, mostly marked trails but also a bit of scrambling and had zero issues with blisters. In May you’ll probably still have areas of snow on the ground at higher elevations. I just...

The settlers brought domesticated animals into and apex predators territory and then killed them off to minimize their losses. Like I said, I understand why they did it, but I also get from a conservation standpoint why they want to reintroduce grizzlies and wolves. It was their natural habitat wher...

Grizzlies were everywhere out west before settlers killed them off. I get why ranchers don’t want them back but that’s a fearmongering article. There’s already evidence that grizzlies have started to spread back into parts of Idaho...

Had a similar experience in Montana with a grizzly. It didn’t full out charge at us but it did head in our direction trying to figure out what we were. Finally it stopped about 25 yards away. We were yelling and waving our arms the entire time. Terrible experience, would not recommend ...
